libview is a collection of widgets under the MIT license that we developed at
VMware while working on
Workstation 5.
We felt they were general purpose enough to have value to the community. We
have benefitted a lot from open source, and felt it was time to make a
genuine effort to give back.

Our intention is for the libview SourceForge project to be the one place where
these widgets will be developed and maintained. We will not be developing
them in-house and pushing them out to the SVN repository. What you see on
SourceForge SVN is what we're using at VMware. We will be adding more widgets
over time to libview as we write them.

Most of the widgets are written in C++ for
gtkmm. While this does limit the
usefulness to many projects, the projects are free to rewrite them in C
and use them.
